Um, am I the only one who sees the irony of it? and the humour? Besides, I think its unfair to presume that there is a rape metaphor that applies only to women, I mean, McCain is trying to screw all of us right?

It’s more of an insult to McCain that the public feels it needs a prophylactic in order to protect themselves from him.

Jenn, I’m totally with you on all these points! It is funny. It is also icky. The rape metaphor was just an interesting conceptual development of the McCain’s trying to screw us idea– I didn’t mean at all to attribute it to Planned Parenthood!

No, no– I really didn’t mean to make some big deal out of it. The post was basically “sex with McCain– yech!”, then j and I started thinking about the metaphors. You’re right, there’s no cause for getting upset.
